The History of the Caucus is a file on the struggle of Kenyan women to coalesce their effort for equitable participation in Leadership into a formidable and veritable force. The enduring spirit of the 1997 Affirmative Action motion is still alive today. In the ongoing constitution review process on the Proposed Kenyan Constitution, we have noted various gains for the Women in Kenya including the entrenchment of the principle of Affirmative Action, for women and other marginalised populations, the entrenchment of the 1/3 representation of either gender in elective positions, 47 women each elected by registered voters of the counties, 12 nomination special seats for youth, People With Disabilities and Workers, a third (6) of which will be for Women Representation in the National Assembly. |
